So the coin is 2 months old and there hasn't been 1 single surprise, which is disappointing.
Where are the 100 surprises? Doesn't really look like there is an active dev team here.

Honestly I think both of those coins are sh*t. Better invest in some project with bright future rather than those coins lmao.

Totally agree. BTCH is one of another 1231242345234523 meaningless coin. BTCH promising nothing. Really i couldn't understand what they thought and created this coin. I think they created this coin to be created a coin not much more purpose Smiley I couldn't see any purpose and use case scenerio in real world on BTCH website. If simular purpose like bitcoin, btch aim to be a payment system that would be 1 april joke.

If forks have a purpose I could get behind them.
These are just rip off copies.

Re: Is NEO a good future invest !!??

Really good to invest. NEO is the two tokens - Neo and Gas. Huge prospects in development.
This is the rival to an ETH, but with the reservation. Everything will depend on what party of development China will go.
Good article ETH vs NEO: https://hackernoon.com/neo-versus-ethereum-why-neo-might-be-2018s-strongest-cryptocurrency-79956138bea3

I don't like the way neo and gas interact with each other.

Re: Did GPU prices just double in the last few weeks

I think, that with current trends for BTC the price for cards will start to fall, cause demand from the miner will drop significantly
with such high prices cards have now and so low ROI only very desperate and courageous  miners  will buy new cards and build new rigs. imho.

I'm waiting for it to happen, I would like some cheaper cards.

Re: Mining from 10 year old PC possible ?
by

on 23/02/2018, 22:16:35 UTC
-Motherboard seems just fine
-You'll need one x1 to x16 USB riser for 2 graphics cards (one will be plugged in at x16 and one will be plugged in at the riser)
-Processor seems fine
-Hard drive is fine
-RAM is fine
-PSU is useless. Throw it and buy a new one with 1000 watts power supply.
-Those 2 GPU's should work just fine on this built (after the required changes)
-Complete upgrade isn't required
-No, go with 2 GTX 1080

2 gtx 1080 is better than 2 asus strix rog 1080 TI oc version ?
As 1080 is only 8 gb and 1080 ti is 11 gb or my motherboard doesn't support 11gb ?
Even my mining speed will be slow with 8gb when compared to 11 gb ?

I don't think so there'll be much of difference in hashrates between the versions & between 8 GB/11 GB, just make sure it's 1080. If I were you, I'd get the cheapest 1080 available. I've both, RX 480 8 GB and RX 480 4 GB, there's a very slight difference in hashrate (like 7%), while I remember there was a good difference in price. So this memory doesn't matter too much IMO. But yeah, if you're planning to overclock afterwards, you might have to explore more about the versions.

I'll warn you again here though, do NOT go with HP server power supply until and unless you've extremely cheap electricity.

Went for the cheaper 1080's, no regrets here.

How to set Zpool currency (AM 3.2.5 dev)

According to Zpools website we should set our currency in your password field: c=
[...]My understanding was that you only had to provide this parameter to zpool if you mine to a non-BTC wallet address.

Console screen AM 3.2.4 (development)

The console display has some optimizing potential:

https://ibb.co/eSJhwa

  • 1. Only one interval should be selectable
  • 2. Resized on a 4k monitor looks shabby (i did not try other resolutions).
        The font in resize mode should be much smaller, or even better dynamically resize with the panel space available
        What's more: the window title and bottom get's cut off
  • 3. When running a miner in background ('-B' option) then there is no console log

I'd rather not uninstall the program. Kind of a pain to setup everything again.

No worries. Unstalling will keep your configuration which is stored in c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMiner.
to be very safe you can always back this up. Or use the export feature Smiley

Help please!
I start cgminer on amd gpu. AM shows mining process but no temperature info, speed info - how to see these params in AM?
https://ibb.co/gPu2ev


Did you select the miner and then click 'Map to system monitoring' ? You'll have to do this for every miner.

Running AM on a 4K screen (fontscaling 175%)

AM 's fonts are very fuzzy. I tried changing compatibility options (Override high DPI scaling behavior) with very limited success.  Undecided

The only setting that does sharpen the fonts is 'Application', but it renders the program unusable in other situations:

    Maybe you missed this one:

    I am proposing some enhancements to AM:
    [...]
    • Option to start miner sw as window (as is) OR minimized
    [...]
    [/list]

    It is very annoying when the new miner window steals the focus ... whats even worse: Hitting the space bar and the very wrong moment will actually pause the intrusive miner Angry

    So please start miners hidden... TIA!  Kiss
    Starting hidden and starting minimized are different, and in fact it's not easy to get a miner console application starting minimized (it can be forced minimized after starting). The feature to run the miner console application hidden is already supported by the configuration in the Managed Miners. I can add the same settings to the Managed Profit Miners as well.

    Anything that stops an app stealing the focus will help...  Smiley
    >> it's not easy to get a miner console application starting minimized
    How does NiceHashMinerLegacy do it?
    I tried running a miner via .lnk file (shortcut) - does not work Sad this might be an option to run it minimized.

    Last request for today:

    Change the installer, so it allows installation to 'C:\Program Files\...'
    If you change the path during installation from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AwsomeMiner' to C:\Program Files\AwesomeMiner' and run the installation, it will be installed to 'C:\Program Files(x86)\AwsomeMiner' anyway. WTF Huh

    Excavator v1.2 is not at all compatible with Excavator v1.1 included in Awesome Miner. They completely redesigned both the API and command line options between v1.1 and v1.2, so they are not compatible at all.

    At some point I will add support for Excavator v1.2, once they keep the API more stable. There will be quite an implementation effort to support the new v1.2, and so far I don't think this miner has been so popular. Also, as you probably noticed in their license information, I'm explicitly forbidden to automatically download Excavator from Awesome Miner. So the user experience will not be as good when I move to v1.2.

    Agree. I am more confused about the 'show/no-show' of custom software in profit profiles... similar issue to

    CPU mining with profit switching in AM dev 3.2.2)

    Q: How do I set up CPU mining with profit switching in AM?

    Version 3.2.3 (Development preview of 3.3 - Not for production use)

    This update is smaller compared to the previous ones, but also includes a number of minor improvements and corrections not listed in detail below.

    [...]
    - Ccminer 2.1 replaces older Ccminer SP-mod
    [...]

    Ccminer SP-mod is the fastest miner for keccak on a 1080ti ... so I would keep it.

    Suggestion
    Add a 'Comment field' to the 'Managed Software' dialog. This might be useful to document the source of the software (not for automatic DL).
    Make 'Profit Profiles' & 'Managed software' exportable/importable as a complete package, so people can share their custom tuned profiles.

    I really begin to like all the features of AM - great stuff!

    A couple of things...

    Suggestion UI change

    1. I suggest you add 'Main' -> 'Miners' -> 'Summary' -> 'View details...' function to the right-click context menu of the miner itself.
    2. In 'View details' -> 'Profit switching' add right-click option 'Mine this...' (will switch mining to the selected algo)

    Finding when trying to include Excavator v1.2.11a as custom miner
    The miner is hosted here: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator (note the special copyright)

    1. Create 'User defined mining software' -> 'Compatibility mode=API only' / 'Compatible Software=Excavator (BETA)' / 'API Port=3456', tick some algos (ethereum, pascal)
    2. Try to include it as Mining software in the 'Profit switshing profile properties'. It is not here  Huh
    3. Change 'User defined mining software' -> 'Compatibility mode=Command line and API'
    4. Go to the 'Profit swiching profile properties'. Now it is available  Smiley. Configure custom path to binaries
    5. Deselect all other miners
    6. Try to mine with it - no success. Result:
